Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 You been schooled son I have my uses...
MTBeer Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The thing is, without knowing how much you consumed, what you consumed, and how you exercised throughout those 4 months, your anecdotes will never become evidence. There's just no control. If you had catalogued each and every thing you ate, drank, ran, cycled and so on (together with HR / power / recovery etc data) then it would be applicable. But until then, all we have is your assertion that you "banted" and it didn't work. That, sir, is an anecdote, and no amount of blogging will change that. pfffft! Logic.....who needs it?
Wobbles Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 pfffft! Logic.....who needs it?Well said MTBeer!! I thought this was a cycling forum where we all share our experiences and not a mumbo jumbo forum for pedantic "scientists". I do have records and stats and so do the others. We all have power meters and Self Loops can verify my loss of form but why do I have to try and prove myself - take our word for it - BANTING DOES NOT WORK FOR CYCLISTS!!
Sports Certified Dietitian Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 welcome, to long to read but in short. Call me if you wanna ride strong or not be a buffalo...Thanks. I agree with you. It was a bit long, but sometimes to put something worthwhile together takes some length. Anybody interested in the topic would hopefully read it.
V12man Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I am curious - what makes a dietician sports certified? who is the certifying body?
Sports Certified Dietitian Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Thank you..interesting read. Now I know what I need to do to to ride faster up a hill.. Pleasure. I also need to practice what I preach...
BarHugger Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Guess what ladies.......tomorrow is FRIDAY........keep up the WATTS!!!!
Patchelicious Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Well said MTBeer!! I thought this was a cycling forum where we all share our experiences and not a mumbo jumbo forum for pedantic "scientists". I do have records and stats and so do the others. We all have power meters and Self Loops can verify my loss of form but why do I have to try and prove myself - take our word for it - BANTING DOES NOT WORK FOR CYCLISTS!!Who is us? What is your version of LCHF? What metrics are you referring too? Eg: what was your split of carbs/proteins/fats? What was your duration at those metrics? What is your definition of "works for cyclists"? As an example on that last point, I have found that it "works" for me because of the weight loss benefits. Weight is a super important part of cycling. I take in carbs when I need to sustain above 70% efforts, your body has too if you are focused on races like the ones I do, fast road races where my efforts never need to exceed more than 2h30 to 3h00. And just a ps. The only one claiming to be a scientist is you. We are not claiming that. But I would much rather take a credible scientist facts over your word..... Sorry. FIFA, we are clean, take our word for it....
Patchelicious Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I am curious - what makes a dietician sports certified? who is the certifying body?Best question of the day!!
Sports Certified Dietitian Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 I am curious - what makes a dietician sports certified? who is the certifying body?I completed the CISSN through the International society of Sports Nutrition. With an interest in sports nutrition one never stops reading and learning though... I am curious - what makes a dietician sports certified? who is the certifying body?
cadenceblur Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Indeed, take in the carbs when needed. Also did the banting thing and lost the weight, battled a bit, but the reintroduction of carbs when "needed" sorted me out. I still do this.
HBO Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 That's some nice weight loss! well done. Interesting number that 85kg though. We're the same height and I weigh 93kg and would not consider myself to be overweight.What testing protocols have been used to establish this as the goal weight?It was basically some blood tests, metabolism, width of my wrists and hip bones. I also was with another "dietician" (not qualified) about 7 years ago who said I must weigh 92.5 kg, also based on some measurements. On this specific diet I lost weight until 94 kg, and still had some fat around the waist, so I reckon 85 - 87 seems fair. My cycling buddy is 1.86 and weighs 78 kg's. I guess you must have quite some lean mass (muscle) if you are 93 and not fat. Jan Serfontein is also 1.87 and is 97 kg' and he is for sure not overweight
Sports Certified Dietitian Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Nice initiative!I am particularly interested in the role of carbohydrate and protein for post ride recovery and particular, what is the best form of carb to take in post exercise.Thanks. I shall definitely address this in due course as its an important area.
BarHugger Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Just ping Rouxtjie........he knows about nutrition........MONSTER!!!
cadenceblur Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Mmm, all depends on frame etc. But at 85kg I reckon I'll look extremely thin. Depends what you're going for I guess? You say some fat around the waist for example. I am quite muscular I guess.
